FACT: Bayliner is backed by U.S. Marine, the largest and most profitable of
the over 4000 US boat manufacturers.

FACT: Bayliners are not overbuilt but are purpose built and should not be
confused with boats that offer higher quality lamination schedules, vinyls,
hardware, trim, gauges etc. at higher prices.

FACT: Bayliners are not the best built boats but do offer many thousands of
people the ability to afford to enjoy one of our greatest past times.

Oh, NOT *this* crap again, Snipper. It was b.s. when you first posted
it, and it was b.s. the next 100 times you posted it.

Actually, the Marine Blue Book was the *original* pricing guide used by
marine professionals. It is generally accepted to reflect the most
accurate boat values of all the guides. It remains the most respected
and is sold *only* to those in the business...and the pros pay a hefty
annual fee for the advice. Tom's insight is hardly "crap".

Would you like a current evaluation for a used Parker or fab
lobsterboat? If so, I'll need the years of manufacture, power and
equipment lists, and model numbers. Photos will not be required as the
Bluebook gives four (4) condition values.
